Examining the mesh between humans and machines provides insight into the future. Science is already making significant progress in the development of brain/computer interface technologies, such as brain mapping and neuromorphic circuits. A system that connects the brain directly to an external device is known as a brain-computer interface. These technologies gather brain impulses using sensors implanted in assistive devices, then use those signals to power external equipment.
